CAROLUS ANDERSON was born abt 1694  Probably in Isle of Wight Co, Va. where, I believe, he married ? BOON,   (NO PROOF--PROB. Dtr of William & Elizabeth Boon)  of  Isle of  Wight Co, Va.,  & Bertie Pct., NC, about 1726  (William Boon died intestate 1731 Bertie Co, NC)

The first record of Carolus Anderson  in North Carolina, is in May, 1728 when William Boon deeds him 423 Ac on Meherrin River, in consideration "of valuable causes".

He   "proved his rights" in  February, 1743 in Edgecombe Co., North Carolina.(8 wh, 3 bl)
He lived on the line separating the states of Virginia and North Carolina, and some of his closest neighbors were the Boon & Fort families.  In 1742, the family of Robert Warren  from Surry Co. Virginia,  located nearby,  whose son Hinchey Warren, married Rachael, the daughter of Carolus Anderson, about 1749. Robert Warren "proved his rights" in August, 1743 in Northampton Co., with 10 whites, and 2 blacks in his HH.

CAROLUS ANDERSON was the son of JAMES & ELIZABETH ANDERSON.  His mother made her will Nov. 5, 1732, naming sons, James Anderson, Carolus Anderson  & daughter Elizabeth Pitman, (& others) with her granddaughter Sarah Anderson as Administratrix.   Sarah is obviously the daughter of her son James, as  it appears Sarah, the daughter of her son Carolus wasn't born at the time (or would have been very young) therefore could not have served as Extrx. of her grandmother's estate.

*NOTE-Helen Leary, in her North Carolina Research: Genealogy and Local History, mentions (p 324-5)
"...between 1665 and the first survey in 1728 of the dividing line between Virginia and Carolina, numerous Virginia patents were issued for land thought to be in Virginia but later found to be in North Carolina."

She adds that "special attention should be given to tracts identified as 'lying and being in the Upper Parish of Nansemond (Virginia).' That designation is
usually a good indication that the land is now in North Carolina." ( My Note-this applies to all border Counties, prior to 1728)
